The Colourform theme pack that HD Widgets first introduced back in February is now finished, out of beta and available on Google Play. The theme pack features over 50 different widgets, all of which look like they were built specifically for Jelly Bean and Android 4.2 (think the lock screen clock). They carry a flat style, Roboto font, and the minimal design that current Android design language emits.

Everything is so much cleaner in Colourform than the standard HD widgets. If you are familiar with HD Widgets, you’ll know how customizable each piece of a widget is, this is just a much simpler theme than you are probably used to. We’re no longer stuck in the 90s where themes all carried a default glossy glass texture.

You can color everything from icons to text to separators to the background to individual clock items. There are now more than 50 quick settings as well, including WIFI signal strength & network name, battery level & charge, weather stats, and device storage.

If you are interested in a new look, or one that matches up to stock Jelly Bean, think about Colourform.

Colourform by HD Widgets Leaves Beta, Available on Google Play is a post from: Droid Life

HD Widgets, one of the most popular clock/weather/settings widgets on Android, received an update today to version 3.8. In this update, support was introduced for their new theme called Colourform. As you can see in the screenshots above and below, Colourform matches up to the styling of Android 4.2, something we’re big fans of.

As with most of their widgets, you are able to tweak the background, opacity, tiles and textures, and theme of the actual clock. In the screenshots below, you’ll get the best view of this new Colourform theme. For whatever reason, they are only calling this a “test” theme, but going forward this should make HD Widgets more open to additional themes.

Beyond the support for themes, HD Widgets 3.8 does include a new feature that looks worthy of an install, and that’s Notification Widgets. As you’ll see below, you can turn on both battery and weather widgets in the notification pulldown. The weather widget is also expandable, so that you can see additional info. Not bad.

HD Widgets 3.8 Released – Supports New Colourform Theme, Which is Actually Beautiful is a post from: Droid Life

One of the features that we are currently on the fence about, is the introduction of lockscreen widgets for Android 4.2. We have heard the argument that widgets should be for a homescreen, and a lockscreen should be just that, a lockscreen. If you do happen to want widgets on your lockscreen though, why not have pretty ones that you can customize? The makers of the HD Widgets have updated their app, which now supports for the adding of their widgets to the lockscreen.

You can choose between different clock widgets, system setting widgets, and other various layouts. If you’re running Android 4.2 and want to try it out, go pick it up in Google Play.

HD Widgets Updated, Support for Android 4.2 Lockscreen Widgets Added is a post from: Droid Life

One of the most popular widget apps out there for Android is HD Widgets and with the bump to version 3.0, the company is making sure that you should check it out. 3.0 brings a new UI that makes laying out your widget just how you like it easier than before and the customization has been turned up off the charts. More colors and backgrounds for each clock means that you can spend hours trying to get everything just the way you want it.

Getting in early also gets you more widgets down the road. Developers Cloud.tv already have a hi-resolution download pack for tablets and they are promising two more new packs within the month. If you are one that can never have your homescreen the same for more than a few days, now is the time to upgrade to HD Widgets 3.0.
